Black Jack
06:08

|
||
Born in White's Row, 1702
Ingenious
Forced into servitude
Hayne's Tavern, met a prostitute
Moved to Fulham
And so his life ensued...
Elizabeth
A liberation into subterfuge
Owen Wood
Taught his craft, off Drury Lane
‘Blueskin’ Blake
Highwayman brother, but not in name
And Johnny Wild
Linchpin criminal in London’s Lanes
Beth was arrested for her body that she sold
When Jack saw her in the roundhouse, in the hold
He broke her out; the gaolers said they did not know
Their whereabouts for several days, it was unknown
Black Jack well he keeps on getting away
Black Jack, surviving till the end
Black Jack well he keeps on getting away
Black Jack, surviving to this end
Elizabeth
A liberation of household effects
William Field
Deceitful congress from Wild's men
Hells Fury
The trap in motion lead to Jack's duress
Jack was arrested for the goods that he sold
Shackled down inside a cell, to his resolve
So he broke out; the gaolers said they did not know
His whereabouts for several days, it was unknown
Black Jack well he keeps on getting away
Black Jack, Surviving till the end
Black Jack well he keeps on getting away
Black Jack, Surviving to this end
Throw him in a cell, but I think you know
You will never hold him he can always go
Lock and chain him down no matter how hard you try
The master of escape, he will always fly
He’ll say see you, see you
Escaping from the roundhouse, easy he’s a master
See you, see you
Standing on the corner...
If you see him, you’ll know
He’ll deal you your final blow
You see him here and you know
You move like shadows and ghosts
If you see him, you’ll know
He’ll deal you your final blow
You see him here and you know
He moves like shadows and ghosts
See you, see you
Standing on the corner what a big disaster
See you, see you
Standing on the corner...
If you see him, you’ll know
He’ll deal you your final blow
You see him here and you know
He moves like shadows and ghosts
If you see him, you’ll know
He’ll deal you your final blow
You see him here and you know
He moves like shadows and ghosts
See you, see you
Standing on the corner what a big disaster
See you, see you
Standing on the corner what a big disaster

Behind The Curtain
05:42

|

Unicycle
Tandem ride on silver screen
Mayfair Actress
Kneels before the Tudor Queen
But we never take the time to watch the scene
Back stage, I’ll never be the one
The one that you will know
Accepting that I will away be the one behind the show
But I can dream that maybe someday it might just be me
I’ll be the one that everybody comes to see
I can tell you that I know, I am never gonna be the actor you’ll wanna see
How I know, I’m stuck behind the curtain
It’s apparent it’s the place that I am meant to be
Oh I know now
But if I try to I’ll be the one on stage oh if I only know how
You’ll come to see me
All I aspire to be
And I am gonna show you
Before the curtain comes down
And spotlights leave me
Behind the curtain this time waiting on my first performance
Nerves are waiving curtains raising
Closing my eyes I enter stage
I’ll show you what I’m made of
Become the actor you know the name of
Before this I dreamt how, I’d get my chance now, if I’m too succeed here,
Become the one you’ve come to see, the one you know.
So when the curtain rises, I’ll show how I was meant to be here
Become the one you’ve come to see, the one you know.
My performance has to steal the show, I counting on it
This could be my time to break the mould, to win or loose it.
Back stage, I’ll never be the one
The one that you will know
Accepting that I will away be the one behind the show
But I can dream that maybe someday it might just be me
I’ll be the one that everybody comes to see
I can tell you that I know, I am never gonna be the actor you’ll wanna see
How I know, I’m stuck behind the curtain
It’s apparent it’s the place that I am meant to be
Oh I know now
But if I try to I’ll be the one on stage oh if I only know how
You’ll come to see me
All I aspire to be
And I am gonna show you
Before the curtain comes down
And spot lights leave me
Behind the curtain this time waiting on my first performance
Nerves are waiving curtains raising
Closing my eyes I enter stage
I’ll show you what I’m made of
Become the actor you know the name of
Behind the curtain this time waiting on my first performance
Nerves are waiving curtains raising
Closing my eyes I enter stage
I’ll show you what I’m made of
Become the actor you know the name of

Solar Storm
05:21

|

Cosmic ray, auroras spread across the sky
Electric wave, now the satellites are
Fall
Falling
Coronal mass ejection blasting from the sun, magnetic
poles switch that turn our world around
Tidal waves, they approach, cities crumble as the liquid walls
Encroach, across the earth, we are gonna have to rebuild this again
Eleven years we didn’t heed the warning
Now we find ourselves in a tragic story
Unprepared we will lose our glory
Now all we do is sing;
"But it is what it is
A fireball on borrowed time
Shockwaves travelling
Putting our lives on the line"
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Coronal mass ejection blasting from the sun, magnetic
poles switch that turn our world around
Tidal waves, they approach, cities crumble as the liquid walls
Encroach, across the earth, we are gonna have to rebuild this again
Eleven years we didn’t heed the warning
Now we find ourselves in a tragic story
Unprepared we will lose our glory
Now all we do is sing;
"But it is what it is
A fireball on borrowed time
Shockwaves travelling
Putting our lives on the line"
And so you’ll see, this life you lead
Will come to be, a distant memory
Eventually, the tides you’ll meet
Will prove to be, your last catastrophe
There’s no place I’d rather be
The waves crashing over me
To lose the earth beneath my feet
Maybe something else will shine on me
Yeah
